EXPLANATORY NOTE
Rentokil Initial plc (the “Registrant”) hereby amends its registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the Commission on October 12, 2022 (File No. 333-267837) (the “Initial Registration Statement”), by filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to reflect the reallocation of certain securities originally registered pursuant to the Initial Registration Statement.
A total of 19,000,000 ordinary shares, par value £0.01 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) represented by American depositary shares of the Registrant (the “ADSs”) at a ratio of five Ordinary Shares per one ADS were originally registered under the Initial Registration Statement for offer or sale pursuant to the Rentokil Initial plc Performance Share Plan, as amended (the “PSP”), 18,256,506 of which remain available for future awards. On March 26, 2024, the Registrant reallocated 6,000,000 Ordinary Shares which were registered for offer or sale pursuant to the PSP to the Rentokil Initial plc Restricted Share Plan, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.4.
As a result of this reallocation, 12,256,506 Ordinary Shares remain allocated to the PSP and 6,000,000 Ordinary Shares are allocated to the Rentokil Initial plc Restricted Share Plan.
No additional securities are being registered.
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 also reflects the Registrant’s Articles of Association adopted at the 2023 Annual General Meeting on May 10, 2023 which are filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and replace Exhibit 3.1 of the Initial Registration Statement.
